Actually, trying to adapt the original wiring and headsets to use a modern IC chip and impedance match to the CB and FRS radios we are using at reenactments.

SO few people have fnctional WS/19s, and even less have the proper licenses to operate them. SO, for reeanctments, the radio of choice is Citizen's band and FRS. If youmess with radios, you know that modern radios' impendance is different than the wartime radios. The headsets and mikes are not directly compatible with out some Resistors and caps added.

Anyone else out there dealt with this?

I've put FRS into all of the radios in my rigs and haven't had an issue with using unaltered period headsets & microphones. The FRS input/output lines are connected to the internals of the period headset & mic jacks. With the No. 19 set in the Dingo, the FRS is connected in the Control Box, not the period radio itself. Since the period radio controls don't actually do anything, I set the FRS and tuck it into the Signals satchel.
